(Introduction)
"After being a Marshall for a while now, I learned that my decisions could either please some or hurt some. The thing is, no important choice could please everyone, but I do try my best."
(Story)
As Jetstream is out of town on an assignment, Dan is sitting outside her office, watching the many people coming and going.
Dan sees a woman riding into town.
"What??? She looks like.........
The woman stops at Jetstream's office.
"Yes, ma'am, can I help you?"
"Yes, I'm looking for a place to get a good drink. Do you know?"
"Well, sure thing, ma'am, the NiteTime saloon is right across the street there. Best saloon in town. Well...... it's our main one, anyway."
"Why, thank you, handsome. Toodle-oo!!!"
Dan watches as the mysterious woman heads to the saloon.
"Heh heh, handsome, huh?"
The woman enters the saloon with a mischievous smile on her face.
"Well, howdy, Jetstream!!! What'll ya have today???"
"Who's Jetstream? My name is Mona Chambers. I just arrived in town. I came for a good drink. Gimme a shot a' ya' best whiskey."

"Comin' right up!!!"
As Jeann serves Mona, she remarks on her similarity with Jetstream.
"You know, Mona, you really remind me of a good friend of mine. You two could pass as twin sisters."
"You don't say, huh? Where is she?"
"She's out on business right now, but she should be back soon."
"I see. Excuse me, miss."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's get some life in this place. What do ya' say?"
"Uh, Mona, what are you doing????"
"Don't take it personal, sweetheart, just havin' some fun."
With the men getting drunk and whooping and hollering, Mona takes control and turns the saloon into a madhouse, upsetting Jeann.
Mona fires her gun, causing the commotion to grow and begins destroying the saloon.
Jeann tries to pull out her rifle but is covered by Mona.
"I'd just as soon put that rifle down, hostess."
Putting the rifle down, Jeann, terrified, prays behind the bar, hoping the horror will come to an end.
The gunshots alarm Dan, and he rushes over to check what's going on.
"Jeann!!! What's happening to this place???"
"I WISH I KNEW, DAN!!!!!"
Dan fires his gun into the air before entering, in an attempt to calm the situation.
A drunk man shoves Dan, causing Dan to punch him, knocking him out.
"Now, lawman, don't be a sorehead. We're just havin' a little fun."
"Well, ma'am, I'm gonna have to take you......
"DAN!!!! LOOK OUT!!!!
Another drunk man came and cracked a beer mug over Dan's head.
Mona remains on top of the bar, legs crossed, having destroyed the saloon.
"Now now, lawman. I wouldn't a' done that if I were you. Now you got cracked across the head. HEY!!! Saloon girl!!! Give us a couple more drinks, will you, dear?"
"Y-yes, comin' right up!!!"
As the saloon's destruction continues, Jetstream rides back into town.
"What in the world? There's a lot of action at the NiteTime saloon. Then again, I could use a drink."
As Jetstream enters, the entire saloon goes silent.
Mona is taken by surprise at Jetstream's appearance.
"No way. She looks just like me. She must be the saloon girl's friend."
"JEANN!!!! What happened in here???"
"I'll tell you. I just wanted to have a bit of fun. I didn't want it to get like this."
Jetstream wakes Dan up and tells him to wait in her office.
"All right, everyone, go home and sober up. Come by later tonight."
Jetstream then walks over to Mona.
"Well, you look just like me. I'm Jetstream. What's your name?"
"Mona. Mona Chambers."
"Well, Miss Chambers, I can take a joke. Besides, it was all in good fun, right. So, I'll tell you what, I'll pay for the damages and let you off the hook, kay?"
"You'd do that for me?"
"Of course. After all I gotta look out for my "twin sister", right?"
An appreciative smile came upon Mona's face.
"Thank you. Thank you so much."
"And please, feel free to come drink with me here whenever, and maybe cut Miss Jeann here a little slack, of course." (Slight giggle)
"Yes, ma'am. I will. Thank you so much."
As Mona leaves for the night, Jetstream and Jeann discuss Jetstream's assignment she recently completed.
"How 'bout a drink?"
"Sure."
